Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Uttar Pradesh Avas Evam Vikas Parishad, under Section 95 of the Uttar Pradesh Avas Evam Vikas Parishad Adhiniyam, 1965, had the authority to implement a Pension/Family Pension and Gratuity Scheme without needing further approval from the State Government, as clarified in the letter dated 30.09.1997. The Court emphasized that the Vikas Parishad could independently manage the scheme using its own funds, thus validating the resolution passed on 5.11.1997. The judgment affirmed the legality of the pension scheme implementation, ruling in favor of the Vikas Parishad's decision.
